Sometimes a product comes along that disrupts the market, taking quality, ease of use, and reliability to new levels. In March 2013, FLIR (currently Teledyne FLIR) released the first models in its K-series thermal imaging cameras for firefighting applications.
A decade down the line, the ground-breaking K-series remains the market leader in firefighting applications, allowing crews to visualise a plan of attack, locate hot spots, and save lives in ultra-quick time. The origins of Teledyne FLIR date back to 1978 with the formation of FLIR Systems and the development of high-performance, low-cost infrared (thermal) imaging systems for airborne applications.
